Referee Nigel Owens refereed his 100th international match when France played Italy

Legendary referee Nigel Owens feels 'as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders' following his decision to retire from international rugby earlier this month.

The famous Welsh whistler - one of the most recognised and decorated officials in game - said that he wanted to finish on the top stage 'on his own terms'. He turns 50 next year.
